    Come arrivare

    Accesso

    Da Ceva si risale la Valle Tanaro fino ad Ormea dove, poco prima del distributore di benzina, si imbocca uno slargo sulla destra (Piazza della Libertà). Al fondo dello slargo, a sinistra, si prende la piccola strada asfaltata che sale a Chionea e Chioraira. Al primo bivio si svolta a destra, seguendo le indicazioni per Chionea. Pochissimi i posti auto disponibili.

    Descrizione

    Dal Rifugio Valcaira, che si trova proprio sotto il Pizzo d'Ormea sul versante sud, si scende lungo il percorso A17 attraverso la Costa Valcaira e le Rocche dei Butti. Il sentiero percorre lo spartiacque, su terreno assolato, tra rada vegetazione (sorbi, ginepri, betulle, rose e qualche ontano) e rocce affioranti, fino a raggiungere una radura di alpeggio da cui si riprende la costa che conduce al Colle di Chionea (1223 m). Da qui una bella mulattiera scende tra muri a secco per raggiungere l'abitato della Borgata di Chionea, 1105 m, dove è possibile ricollegarsi con la tappa 9 del Sentiero Tanaro.

    Dal rifugio Valcaira vasto panorama sull’Alta Val Tanaro e sul Mar Ligure, da Sanremo alle Cinque Terre.
